XCT >150 min or CPBT >240 min was associated with higher 30-day mortality; leaves open whether minimizing these times improves outcomes.
What are the safe time limits of aortic cross-clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass to prevent 30-day mortality and morbidity in adult cardiac surgery?
Aortic cross-clamping time >150 minutes and cardiopulmonary bypass time >240 minutes are independent predictors of significantly increased 30-day mortality and morbidity in adult cardiac surgery.
